- Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, a 5'6", 165 pound senior walk-on to the Notre Dame football team, who had never gotten to take the field, was put into the allowed to come into the lineup in the final 27 seconds of a game against Georgia Tech.[25] Ruettiger broke through the line and sacked the Tech quarterback who, coincidentally, was also a Rudy—Rudy Allen.[26] Ruettiger's story of determination would later be made into the film Rudy.

- The Osimo Treaty was signed between Italy and Yugoslavia, resolving the dispute over Trieste, claimed by both nations. Under the agreement, 233 km2 (90 mi2) and 302,000 residents went to Italy, while the other 340 km2 (130 mi2) and 73,500 inhabitants went to Yugoslavia.[33]

Sakharov, a nuclear physicist who had overseen the development of the hydrogen bomb for the U.S.S.R., had later become the nation's most famous dissident. An exit visa was denied him on grounds that "he possesses state secrets".[39] On the same day, author Vladimir I. Maximov was stripped of his citizenship by the Soviet Union; Maximov was living in France at the time.[40]

- Quick action, by the pilot of an American Airlines DC-10, averted a mid-air collision with a TWA Lockheed Tri-Star that could have killed 308 people. Captain Guy Eby sent DC-10 into a dive after being alerted by an air traffic controller, injuring 24 of the 194 people on board, after being alerted by an air traffic controller that the two jumbo jets were rapidly approaching each other.[64] American Airlines Flight 182 was on its way from Chicago to Newark, while TWA Flight 37 was going from Philadelphia to Los Angeles with 114 on board. The two jets were both cruising at 35,000 feet when the encounter took place over Carleton, Michigan. At 7:22 pm local time, a controller at the Cleveland ATC center gave the order "American 182, descend immediately to 330". The subsequent investigation concluded that the error lay with one of the controllers, who had been aware that both jets were at the same altitude, but failed to resolve the problem, nor inform the person who took over from him one minute before the dive order was given. AA 182 made an emergency landing at Detroit, while TWA 37 continued to Philadelphia without the passengers being aware of their brush with death.[65]
